At GenesisCare our doctors and expert teams are leading specialists in using advanced radiotherapy for different cancers and our state-of-the-art centres are equipped with the latest radiotherapy technologies.

Recent breakthroughs have led to radiotherapy treatments that can significantly improve cancer outcomes by controlling tumours and reducing the need for surgery. At the same time, these techniques can limit side effects and shorten treatment times from weeks to just a few days for some tumour types.

What is radiotherapy?

Radiotherapy, also called radiation therapy, kills cancer cells. It’s used to cure cancer (called curative or radical radiotherapy) or it can be used palliatively to limit cancer growth and relieve pain and discomfort from cancer that has spread and can’t be cured. Radiotherapy can also be used to make other treatments more effective, such as before surgery or with chemotherapy, or reduce the risk of cancer coming back after surgery.

In addition, radiotherapy can also be used to treat cancers that have returned following previous treatments. This is known as SABR reirradiation or repeat radiotherapy.

MRIdian radiotherapy

The advanced technology of the MRIdian is used to treat complex cancers including cervical, kidney, liver, lung, lymphoma, pancreas, prostate, rectal and sarcoma

 

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR)

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR)

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR)

SABR is a non-invasive, radiotherapy technique used to treat localised tumours and secondary cancers. 

Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT)

Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT)

Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT)

IGRT is a technique which involves collecting images to verify the position of a tumour prior to radiotherapy to make it more effective and reduces side effects

Surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT)

Surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT)

Surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT)

SGRT uses sophisticated 3D camera technology to accurately target and kill cancer cells. 

 

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)

VMAT is ideally suited for the treatment of advanced cancers, helping to slow their growth, spread and relieve symptoms, such as pain

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)

SRS may be suitable if you have a tumour that starts in your brain (primary tumour) or a tumour that has spread from elsewhere in your body. 

Gamma knife radiosurgery

Gamma knife radiosurgery

Gamma knife radiosurgery

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is used to treat benign brain conditions and secondary brain tumours. 

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

IMRT is a ‘conformal’ radiotherapy. This means radiation beams are shaped to surround the treatment area

Reducing side effects

Because radiotherapy can carry risks of damage to surrounding healthy organs, we use the following techniques to help reduce treatment related side effects and improve your quality of life.

At GenesisCare, we’re redefining cancer care by investing early in the most advanced, evidence-based radiotherapy treatments and techniques that can change lives.
